Even the dead like to have presents

Continuing my habits of morbid writing and of tweaking songs I have now given the necromancer treatment to The Twelve Days of Christmas. You had better appreciate this; I spent a whole 20 minutes on it!

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge as a zombie!

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two spectral doves
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven souls a-screaming,
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight mohrgs a murd'ring,
Seven souls a-screaming,
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine Hades burning,
Eight mohrgs a murd'ring,
Seven souls a-screaming,
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten liches scheming,
Nine Hades burning,
Eight mohrgs a murd'ring,
Seven souls a-screaming,
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven banshees keening,
Ten liches scheming,
Nine Hades burning,
Eight mohrgs a murd'ring,
Seven souls a-screaming,
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve ghosts a-haunting,
Eleven banshees keening,
Ten liches scheming,
Nine Hades burning,
Eight mohrgs a murd'ring,
Seven souls a-screaming,
Six ghasts a-slaying,
Five gho-oul kings,
Four rotting birds,
Three dead hens,
Two spectral doves,
And a partridge as a zombie!
